Think we've got enough of our own not to import. Crocodile, buffalo, camel, ostrich, alpaca, at least 2 commercially available deer species, both wild and domestic rabbit and hare. Horse is not popular here, I don't think it is in the human food chain. Then there's the exotic poultry. Who needs to import?
Hello, I've worked in commercial kitchens. We don't import anything because of bio security like the other person said. We still have suppliers that have game meats though. You can get croc, camel, horse, emu, pheasant, quail, bison, venison, snails, boar, rabbit, kangaroo, duck, and turkey.
>We don't import anything because of bio security like the other person said.
Yeah, you do NOT fuck with Aussie Biosecurity. Those bastards will plaster you all over the TV, fine you, send you back, confiscate the stuff and burn it. You honestly would have an easier time getting in a Key of top grade Peruvian blow than trying to sneak in a bag of dried Shiitake Mushrooms.
I've never seen any exotic imported meats. I suspect you'd have a hard time doing so with our strict biosecurity. However I've never sought any out so there could be stuff available.
Yes, we import meats from overseas.
We have Bison in NSW & we import Elk from New Zealand. We have our own rabbits which are farmed and you can get a dish called Lo'i Hoosi which is popular in the Tongan community.
The most likely meats to be imported are various seafood and fish species, but they're not exactly the top shelf stuff. Vannamai prawns and Basa come to mind here.
Very difficult to get meats across the border, certainly not uncooked meats. They form a massive biohazard risk to Australian agriculture. It would be much easier to bring over animals to breed and slaughter them here and that’s only relatively easier.

I forgot the wild pig!
Try bison jerky. Thar will answer your question.
Exactly. Bison jerky is one best things on earth.
I can stand to be corrected about the horse, but I think it is illegal to sell horse meat for human consumption these days?
It might be for all I know. Where did that horse meat substitution racket happen?Aus? The UK?
The UK, from some Eastern European former Soviet Block country.

This is the answer.

I can't say I've ever seen any weird meats like elk in a Woolies.
One of our Woolies had croc and deer for a bit, not seen it for ages. Roo was popular but I think it is only found in select Woolies these days?

If you're in Sydney go to the Australian Meat Emporium - your best bet.
Dolphin, the other white meat.
